Chapter 103: Alliance of Interests
"Wait, it's wrong of us to use the formation to test Daoyou's strength. What do you want us to do to make you stop?"
After the fight just now, Fang Dongming knew how terrifying Lai Yang's physical body was, and it would be unwise to continue to fight with him.
Furthermore, since he had provoked such a powerful enemy in the True Dragon Secret Realm, it would be difficult for him to look for opportunities with peace of mind in the future, and he had to be on guard against being stabbed in the back at all times.
Hearing this, Lai Yang did not rush to take action, but instead stared at everyone's actions.
Although these people's realms were not as high as his, they all carried powerful magic weapons without exception, and Lai Yang found it difficult to deal with them.
If we continue to fight, we won't gain anything and we might even let them escape.
"I was looking for opportunities in the mountains. I don't know you and we have no grudges against each other. You designed a killing formation to kill me. If it weren't for my strong body that could withstand the spells in the formation, I would have become a corpse in the formation by now. How are you going to compensate me for this?" Lai Yang said lightly.
Fang Dongming's heart sank slightly, worried that the other party would ask for too much, so he frowned and asked, "How do you want to compensate, fellow Taoist?"
Hearing this, Lai Yang said nothing and looked at the tortoise shell in Fang Dongming's hand.
"This item was given to you by my master. I cannot give it to you. Please change the conditions." Fang Dongming said with a firm look.
"Three fifth-grade natural treasures, or a top-grade spiritual weapon." Lai Yang didn't think he could take the tortoise shell, so he said lightly.
Hearing this, Fang Dongming widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Why don't you go and rob it?"
"Guess what I'm doing now?" Lai Yang didn't intend to hide anything.
Fang Dongming was suddenly speechless. He had already expected that Lai Yang would ask for a huge amount of money.
"I don't have any rare treasures on me right now, but I know where some powerful rare treasures may be found. I can take you there." Fang Dongming
"Stop talking nonsense. Since you can't offer compensation, let's keep fighting. Maybe I can't keep all of you, but it should be okay to keep one or two of you." Lai Yang said in a deep voice, with the energy and blood surging throughout his body.
Seeing this, Fang Dongming had no choice but to take out seven nails emitting ghostly auras. With a look of pain on his face, he explained, "This is a mid-grade spiritual weapon: the Soul Chasing Nail. Once successfully used, it can nail a person's three souls and seven spirits, torturing the opponent's spirit. If all seven Soul Chasing Nails are driven into a person's spirit, the opponent's soul will be shattered in an instant, and his body will be destroyed."
"I only have this middle-grade spiritual weapon. I can give it to you and write off the previous matter. How about that?"
Lai Yang looked at the seven soul-chasing nails in Fang Dongming's hand, feeling the power contained in those seven nails. He said nothing, and was obviously not very satisfied.
Fang Dongming came up with an idea and immediately took out a stick of incense and said, "This is called the Refreshing Incense. It can refresh the mind, help break through realms, and reduce the probability of going astray during practice. This stick is worth 100,000 spirit stones. Are these two items satisfactory to you, fellow Taoist?"
Hearing this, Lai Yang smiled and nodded, "Since you are so sincere, why should I refuse?"
Fang Dongming was speechless. He waved his hand to wipe off the spiritual imprint on the Soul-Hunting Nail, and casually pushed the two things in front of Lai Yang.
Lai Yang was not polite and put the two items into his pocket, intending to find an opportunity to refine the Soul-Chasing Nail later.
The Soul-Chasing Nail is a mid-grade spiritual weapon, but Lai Yang's spiritual cultivation level is only at the seventh level of the Core Forming Realm, and he is not able to grab it and refine it in an instant.
"Now can we have a good talk?" Fang Dongming said with a hypocritical smile on his face.
Lai Yang was too lazy to care so much, looking at the three men and two women in front of him, and said: "What else do you want to say?"
"We have discovered a monster's lair and are looking for teammates who are capable of exploring it together. I have a method that can show that there are great opportunities in the monster's lair. Fellow Daoist, you are very powerful, are you willing to go with us? If we find the opportunity, we will each get it based on our own abilities."
Fang Dongming valued Lai Yang's strength, so he was willing to make concessions again and again and immediately extended an invitation to him.
"Just now you and I were fighting each other. Do you think I can trust you?" Lai Yang said calmly.
"Everyone comes to the True Dragon Secret Realm for the sake of opportunity. Now the opportunity is right in front of you and me, and we all have the same interests. If we miss this great opportunity because of a small conflict, wouldn't it be a pity?" Fang Dongming laughed and said nonchalantly.
"There are so many powerful people in the Spirit Transformation Realm in the True Dragon Secret Realm. If he doesn't agree, we can just find two more people. There's no need to bother with him." The burly martial artist who had previously fought with Lai Yang interrupted in a muffled voice.
"With the means we have, we can go deep into the monster's lair and protect ourselves without any problem. If Brother Fang was not too cautious, why would he look for others to share the opportunity?" A man in a blue robe said elegantly.
"My fellow Daoist, we do sincerely invite you to join our team and explore opportunities together. There were some misunderstandings before. Since Fellow Daoist Fang has already apologized, please don't take it to heart. I am Lu Shi, the elder of Piaoyun Sect, and I don't know which sect you are from." The female cultivator in white clothes embroidered with clouds followed up.
Lai Yang hesitated for a moment, then said, "My name is Chen Tao."
When you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself.
"Chen Tao? Could it be that fellow Daoist is Chen Tao, the inner sect disciple of Wan Dao Sect? That's not right. Isn't Chen Tao in the Nascent Soul stage?"
Lai Yang gave this name intentionally to test whether everyone knew Chen Tao's background. He is indeed an inner disciple of Wandao Sect.
"My name is Chen Tao, which means Tao in Chinese. As for the sect of immortality, I'm not in a position to tell you." Lai Yang added.
Hearing this, the person who spoke suddenly realized, "So it's Brother Chen Tao, I'm so sorry."
"My name is Wen Wenlu, from the Wen family."
"This is Fang Dongming, the elder of Sifang Pavilion, and Lu Shi, the elder of Piaoyun Sect. They have already introduced themselves."
"As for the other two."
The blue-robed man Wen Wenlu turned his head to look at the burly man and the last female cultivator.
"Shenwu Sect, Wei Li."
"Wanbaolou, Cai Mingchun."
Then, Wen Wenlu stepped forward and continued, "Haha, we can be considered as people who know each other through fighting. Let's make friends with each other. As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths, right? We all paid a lot to come to the True Dragon Secret Realm to seek opportunities. We don't have to fight to the death. It's not good for anyone to make things too awkward."
Lai Yang nodded and said calmly: "You are right. We are all here to seek opportunities. We don't have to fight to the death. If you hadn't attacked me first, I wouldn't have had to provoke you."
"Oh, that's right. I think you are a reasonable person. Since the matter has passed, why not talk about cooperation?"
"Well, since it's all for the sake of chance, I'll listen to you."
It was impossible for Lai Yang to believe them just because of two or three sentences, but he believed in his own strength.
Even if there is any danger in the monster's lair, he is confident that he can escape safely.
Before that, he didn't mind taking advantage of each other.
Among the five people, the ones who need to be most vigilant at the moment are Wen Wenlu and Fang Dongming.
The latter is flexible, while the former seems to be a good person, but in fact he is perfect in his dealings and ruthless in his actions. He is definitely a smiling tiger.
As for Wei Li, a martial artist from the Shenwu Sect, he is not as noteworthy to Lai Yang as the previous two, but he is also a character who is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
The two female cultivators from Piaoyun Sect and Wanbao Tower still need to be observed, but since they can hang out with these people, they must not be simple people.
